The rising popularity of open banking payments

Open banking is gaining traction, with more than 1 in 9 UK consumers and 17% of small businesses utilising open banking services in 2023. This innovative approach to payments serves as an alternative to traditional methods such as cards, Direct Debits, and standing orders.

How open banking payments work

Open banking payments offer a fast and secure way to make transactions without the requirement to input card details. Customers can conveniently select their bank from a list and authorise their purchase, streamlining the payment process. This method not only enhances speed and security but also provides a seamless and efficient way to conduct financial transactions.

Advantages of open banking payments

The use of open banking payments facilitates quicker fund transfers, reduces the risk of errors and fraud, and simplifies the payment process for both consumers and businesses. Additionally, this method empowers users to manage their finances more effectively and gain greater control over their transactions.

Reduce fraud with safe, secure open banking payments

Unlike using cards, open banking payments offer a more secure way to pay. With open banking, customers verify each payment directly with their bank, which helps reduce fraud and unauthorised transactions. Plus, because open banking doesn't involve sharing banking data or processing card details, there's no need to worry about PCI DSS compliance costs.

Payment choice and flexibility

Whether your customers are making payments online by themselves or through a contact center, you can provide a pay by bank option. By offering multiple payment methods for online bills, invoices, or reminders in real time, you can increase successful transactions and decrease the number of abandoned carts.
